The Boston Comedy Festival Comedy Competition brings 96 comedians from across the country and Canada to Boston for one of New England’s biggest stand-up competitions. Over eight preliminary rounds, 12 comedians take the stage at each show, all competing for a spot in the semifinals. Only 32 comedians advance, so expect a packed night of sharp, varied sets as the field gets cut down.
